Abstract

A Super-luminescent Diode (SLD) seeded all fiber cascaded pulsed laser system is reported. The signal line width is 8 nm confined by spectrum filers between stages, much wider than Laser Diode (LD) seeded laser. The wide spectrum of the seed source gives a good opportunity to get higher stimulated brillouin scattering threshold than LD seeded laser. The system emits up to 50 W pulses at a wavelength of 1064 nm and a repetition rate of 20 kHz with peak power 250 kW and beam quality M2 < 1.8. No SBS or SRS are observed and its output power is limited only by available pump power.
